    Bothsidesing is easy
    Bothsidesing is fun
    Truth is the GOP
    Wants us poor, unhealthy and dumb

    Off top of my head - tariffs/extension of 1% tax cuts, RFK Jr/restricting abortion/antivax, abolish Dept of Education/public money for religious schools.

    And this trainwreck, of course:

    Do you know why we don’t have a public option or universal healthcare? Because the GOP filibustered and an “Independent” killed it.

    Is that how your rationalized not voting for Harris the last election? This is a demonstrably false narrative, lazy as heck as well. I am not here to pretend the dems arr perfect all all social and economic progresses won, the last 60 to 70 yrs, by the middle and working class, as well as minorities, have been under democrats. This bothsideism is simply false. You are trying to gaslight us and it is unfortunate that some are falling for this bullshit.

    It wasn't signed a month ago. It was a framework or something like that. Apparently it has now been signed.

    Both are related to the Iran Israel conflict, and I refuse to post in that thread (just as I don't in the Israel Hamas thread).

    First, Massy with a bi-partisan measure that would require Congress to approve the US military getting involved in the conflict.

    https://www.axios.com/2025/06/17/trump-iran-israel-war-congress-massie-khanna

    Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) plan to introduce a measure that would force President Trump to get approval to Congress to enter Israel's conflict with Iran.
    Also, two tankers collided just south east of the Straight of Hormuz

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/17/ships-collide-in-hormuz-strait-in-shadow-of-israel-iran-war

    Two oil tankers have collided in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical oil checkpoint just off the coast of Iran.

    British maritime security monitor Ambrey said that the collision on Tuesday of the Adalynn and the Front Eagle is “not security-related,” despite the proximity of the accident to the war raging between Israel and Iran and concerns over its impact on navigation.

    Despite what Ambrey says, What's Going On With Shipping (the YouTube channel that everybody watched when that shit hit the bridge in Baltimore) shows there was some GPS spoofing going on and wonders if that was the cause. Here's the clip, about 9 minutes.

    Estimates I saw from the semi-neutral were at five mil so I went with that, for all I'd like it to have been 10.

    3.5 % would be about 12 mil. But of course, media estimates are usually off by huge margins...

    Right, this guy wasn't going to get shot because a cop got twitchy. The only way he was going to get killed is if he wanted to commit suicide by cop.

    I didn't vote for Harris or Trump this last election because they were both terrible candidates and neither one of them should be President.

    I'm not a member of the working class, so their plight isn't really my problem. But, I understand why they are where they are in this country.

    Here we go again...... Bothsideism at is best and laziest. To have the gall to compare Harris to Trump and conclude they are both terrible is beyond stupidity, not to mention that level of privilege.
    Obviously their plight is not your problem and you have no clue what it is about. So, stay in your lane since you do not have any understanding of why they are where they are.

    But one of them was GOING TO BE president, so you’ve gotta make a choice.

    As awful as it was for Meryl Streep’s character, at least one of Sophie’s children got to live. You’d have let them both die.
